Silver Linings Of Life’s Lowest Moments
1Funny

Life often brings lemons and sometimes even entire lemon trees. The key is truly learn to look at the beauty of the struggles and pain to add some sugar and make lemonade. In fact, those that take this advice to heart even make a few dollars from their lemonade stands.

1. When your purse gets stolen, you get to buy a new one. Joke’s on you, thief-man.


2. Getting the flu means you can bust out your high school pants because they fit now.


3. Having wrinkles on your face just means you smiled a lot.


4. If something catches on fire, at least the firemen will be hot. Literally.


5. When your phone dies in the middle of the day, you have a chance to make deeper in-person friendships.


6. Being bad at something means there is always someone better to ask for help.


7. Having friends that are way more active than you means that you get to eat according to their appetites.


8. When you get home from the grocery store and realize that you forgot the one item you went to buy, at least you got other exciting things that you previously didn’t realize you needed.


9. Having buyer’s remorse will encourage you to use the item you just bought more often.


10. Running out of gas shows you just how good your car is at going below the speed limit.


11. If you can’t sleep well, it just means you have more time for other things.


12. When you forget to set a morning alarm, at least you get to sleep in.


13. Having a stressful and challenging job means you get to learn something new every day.


14. Forgetting to brush your teeth in the morning proves who your real friends are by lunch time. Why did everyone sit on the far side of the table at this morning’s meeting?


15. Being single for a long time means that you get to enjoy being in a relationship even more when it does happen.


16. If your flight is delayed you have more time to meet people who have feelings similar to yours.


17. When the barista messes up your coffee order, you not only get to try a new drink, but you probably get a new one for free.


18. Running out of money means you have the opportunity to make familial connections that you may otherwise have overlooked.


19. When you really start to like-like someone and then you find out they aren’t single, at least you know you have good taste.


20. Sending a Mother’s Day card three weeks late means that your mom will know she is special every day of the year.


21. Getting a bad test grade or work evaluation means the only thing you can do is improve.


22. Breaking up means you get a chance to fall in love again.


23. Staining your favorite piece of clothing means you have a new outfit to tie-dye.


24. Loosing something reminds you of all the good things you have.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
